Sensitivity of Soil Moisture Analyses to Contrasting Background and Observation Error Scenarios

Soil moisture is a crucial variable for numerical weather prediction. Accurate, global initialization of soil moisture is obtained through data assimilation systems. However, analyses depend largely on the way observation and background errors are defined. In this study, a wide range of short experi...
